Well, to follow the fine tradition of following up to one'as own post, I
managed to get this to work by doing

smtp_ratelimit_hosts = ! : ! +my_internal_blocks: ! ${if eq {$sender_host_authenticated}{}{127.0.0.1}{*}} : *

Its something of a hack, but it works. It could be made slightly cleaner
if there was an "smtp_ratelimit_condition"...
